In honor of George Carlin (died at 71 of heart failure... which i'm sure he would have a joke in there somewhere about death and heart failure)...

George's 7 words...

[censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored] and [censored].

Wonder if the cemetery will allow those seven words on his headstone if he wanted them there?

Whoa, at least I got to see him in Vegas a few years ago.

Loved that bit, back in the day. "[censored] doesn't even belong there; it sounds like a nick-name. [censored], Toots; Toots, [censored]. Sounds like a snack. Betcha can't eat just one!"

Even a Truther got him back in October

Possibly the greatest and smartest comedian ever. He knew how to use the dirty words without being just vulgar. He knew how to make a point without going over the head of the audience.

If you haven't, go buy his books. Good stuff.


And he was Mr. Conductor. :)

I agree, he was great. Still think he's #2 to Richard Pryor. It must stink to be a comedian. You have to go into it knowing that no matter what you won't ever be any better than third greatest of all time.

Mitch Hedberg &gt; Richard Prior &gt; George Karlin

Still a loss for the world.

A random Hedberg quote...

"I saw some escalators out of order at the mall. I thought an out of order escalator was called stairs. The sign said 'escalator temporarily out of order' but it should have said 'escalator temporarily stairs."
